Here's some inspiration!

Several of our Design Team Members and our August Guest Designer decided to play along - Read the description below each card to see who made it!

Jess created these adorable card using the tigers from our Wild Child stamp set.  I love how she created that fun background with the leaves from the Wild Child stamp set and the "xoxo" from the Sweetheart Tails stamp set! 

Samantha created these adorable card using our boatful of gifts from our  SEAson's Greetings stamp set and added some words from our new Simply Sentimental stamp set! Such a fun way to get more mileage our of a holiday set!

Tessa created this fun challenge card using wagon from our Wagon of Wishes stamp set and added the big "thanks" from our new Simply Sentimental stamp set! What a great Fall thank-you card!

Shellye used our new Hanging Around stamp set for her challenge card. I love that cute little squirrel hanging off the edge!

Chitra, our Guest this month, made this adorable card, also with the, too cute for words, squirrel from Hanging Around! He looks so sweet hanging onto the "thanks" from Simply Sentimental! I just love the blues of the sheer ribbons and the umbrellas on the patterned paper! 

And here's one from me. I had to use the Newton's Summer Vacation Set one more time before starting to play with fall stamps! I added some watercolor splashes too - just for fun!

Now it's your turn!

Use the widget below to add a link to your project! Don't forget to tell your friends to play along too - If we get more than 15 participants we will pick TWO winners!

Inky Paws #12 - Beach Challenge Winners!

BEACH CHALLENGE WINNERS! 

Thanks so much to everyone who entered our last  Inky Paws Challenge at here at the Newton's Nook Designs blog! This months theme was a Beach Themed Challenge! Looking through all the entries made us want to take a day at the beach!! Great job & thanks to everyone who played along! 

Top pick for Inky Paws Challenge #12

Without further ado.... here is our top pick!

Congrats to Zoey and the Furballs (love that blog name, by the way) who made this adorable beach scene with our Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set! We just LOVED the bright coloring she used on this fun little beach scene - and the fun paper that looks like sand really gave it a nice, finishing touch! So adorable! Make sure to check out her blog, Zoey and the Furballs to see her other cards- she's showcased a lot of cute Newton's Nook Designs cards lately! 

Congrats Zoey and the Furballs!! Don't forget to send us an e-mail at info@newtonsnookdesigns.com to claim your $10 store credit and get your winner badge for your blog! 

Inky Paws Favorites

Since there were so many beautiful cards, we chose two more as our favorite picks! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

This card by Barbara is so creative! She used our Newton's Birthday Bash set and changed the Balloon into a beach ball so he could bounce along on the beach! So fun! She also used our free digital image, but used just the sentiment from it. 

We thought this entry by Cindy was also a creative idea! I think she used the kitty from our Newton's Holiday Mischief set and changed instead of hanging from a wreath, he's hanging onto a life preserver! What a cute idea! She also used a sentiment from our Newton's Daydream set. 

Thanks so much!

Thanks again to everyone who entered - It's really so much fun to look through all the entries and see everyones ideas! If you didn't win this time we hope you'll try again next month. The new challenge will be posted on Friday, August 29.
